The 2013 Oscars, by the numbers: Ties, boobs and Harvey Weinstein

Oscars 2013: Best sound editing tie, best picture win and other Oscar milestones

The awards have been collected, speeches been delivered and red-carpet fashion parsed. But how long was the ceremony — or host Seth MacFarlane’s opener, for that matter? Below, we have a look at some notable facts and figures from the 85th annual Academy Awards, from Daniel Day-Lewis’ history-making best actor win to just how much Jackie Weaver’s diamonds were worth.

15: Approximate number of minutes Seth MacFarlane’s opening monologue lasted. (That’s actual minutes, not how long it felt.)

7: Number of times we’ve seen Kate Winslet’s boobs, according to Seth MacFarlane’s opening song, We’ve Seen Your Boobs. (In Heavenly Creatures, Jude, Hamlet, Titanic, Iris, Little Children and The Reader, for those playing along at home.)

0: Number of times we’ve seen Jennifer Lawrence’s boobs.

3: Number of best leading actor Oscars won by Daniel Day-Lewis, making him the only actor in Academy Awards history to have earned so many. Jack Nicholson has also earned three acting Oscars, though one of those is in the supporting category.

9: Age of youngest-ever best actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis, who was up for her work this year in Beasts of the Southern Wild.

2003: The last time a Canadian film won the best foreign language film Oscar, for Denys Arcand’s Les Invasions Barbares. Rebelle (War Witch), a film by Canadian filmmaker Ken Nguyen, lost the category this year to Michael Haneke’s Amour.

4%: Number of Academy Award winners who thank Harvey Weinstein in their speeches, according to a Georgia Tech study that surveyed 300 speeches made between 1953 and today. That’s 12 out of 300; comparatively, God was thanked in 11.

86: Age of oldest-ever best actress nominee Emmanuelle Riva, who was up for her work in Amour. Both she and Wallis lost to Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook)

16: Number of Academy Award nominations received by Steven Spielberg, including two nominations this year for Lincoln. He lost both — the best directing prize went to Ang Lee for Life of Pi, while best picture went to Ben Affleck’s Argo.

50: Age of the James Bond film franchise, celebrated at Sunday Night’s Academy Awards with a tribute from Dame Shirley Bassey (76 years old) and Adele (24).

1949: The first time there was a tie at the Academy Awards, before Sunday when Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall both took home trophies for sound editing. Back then, it was for best documentary feature. There was another tie in 1968, in the best actress category: Barbra Streisand (who, serendipitously, performed at Sunday’s ceremony) and Katharine Hepburn both took home Oscars, for their respective work in Funny Girl and The Lion in Winter. The last time there was a tie was in 1994, when Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life and Trevor tied for best live-action short film. (Hat-tip to the comments for the corrections!)

4: Number of times the Academy Awards have given a best picture prize to a film whose director was not nominated for best director, including Argo this year. Previously, Wings (1927/28), Grand Hotel (1931/32) and Driving Miss Daisy (1989) took home best picture Oscars while each film’s respective director was snubbed. Argo won best picture on Sunday, but Ben Affleck was not nominated for best director — though he won that prize at the Golden Globes.

3:28: Length of Sunday night’s Oscars telecast. The longest Oscars ceremony took place in 2000, clocking in at roughty four hours — or two minutes more than the length of 1939 best picture-winner Gone with the Wind.
